Nutrilite MLM Model

 An IBO joins the company and buy a product as $13 and sell the same product at $20. he is making a benefit of $7 (53.8%).  When a distributor sells to 20 customers, an extra monthly bonus or rebate of 25% is paid on the total wholesale value. 20 customers x $13.00 = $260 x 25% =$65.00  Once a distributor proved that he could get 25 customers, he was allowed to become a Direct Distributor or DD in Amway language. As a DD, he can now recruit other people who wanted to sell the Nutrilite products. They would buy their products from him and not directly from Nutrilite.  A Nutrilite distributor must have 25 customers for 3 consecutive months to become a DD before the distributor is allowed to recruit others.  Once he and his distributors amassed 150 customers, he receives an additional 2% of the total sales volume or a 2% DD bonus

Amway MLM Model

 Amway is a multi-stair steps plan starting from 3% to 21% monthly bonus or rebate.  In the Nutrilite plan, only DDs can recruit others whereas the Amway plan allows all distributors who have signed up to recruit others.  In the Amway plan, agents have to do $10,000 to hit 21% leadership level or the highest step in the program.  In Amway, for you to become a Direct Distributor, you have to do 21% or 10,000PV for 6 months, three months must be consecutive and the other three need not be.  In Amway, the stair steps is 0% to 21% and you revert to 0% every month and as a result it is impossible to use your money to buy up to any position. You are forced to build a solid organization and this is hard work.
